Hi. I am a Ct resident and I recently got my "tempoary" Ma LTC. As many of you know I need to renew this each year. Fortunately I don't need to renew in person every year anymore thanks to a change in the law in January 2017. My question is do I need to retake my Mass firearm safety course every year to submit with my anual renewal? I tried emailing the state but they seem to have blown me off. I've heard about Mass being extremely slow for renewals and read alot of recomendation that I send in my paperwork as much a six months early just to keep my permit current. So. Do I need to retake the safety course every time I renew?
